Previously on Douxie x OC
„Well, that went better than expected." Douxie said as we entered his room.
Third POV:
„Are you kidding? Jim's in prison and I'm the servant to a sorceress who tried to kill me." Claire says angrily.
„Even worse, I can't get a signal!" Steve complains.
„Technically speaking, she hasn't done that yet."
„My husband is right; my aunt isn't evil yet." Mailin says.
„I don't care! We're not supposed to be here. We should be home, together, helping our friends in the present. Their present. The future! Whatever!" Claire says, sits down, puts her head on her knees and starts to cry.
Mailins PoV:
I sit down next to her and rub her shoulder, trying to comfort her as best as I can.
„We can't return home... yet. Look, Merlin always insisted we never mess with time." Douxie says and kneels in front of Claire „We'll have to find a way back without screwing up history, or there won't be a future to go home to."
Steve says something about Alfred Einstein, and I chuckle as he did some weird karate moves.
„So, how do we get home? You're the wizard expert here." Claire says.
Douxie thought for a bit before getting an idea „The Time map! It's here with Merlin! It could show us the way back to the present without damaging the past."
„You're a genius Douxie! I knew you could think of something!" I smile and congratulate him with a quick peek on the lips, after which he smiles dreamily.
„Then what are we waiting for, Dumbledork? Let's go get the Time Thingy!" Steve says enthusiastically.
„What about Jim?" Claire asks.
„Lake's probably safer down there than we are up here." Steve says.

„It's settled. We'll play our roles and stay out of trouble while I get that map." Douxie says.
„You mean we; I'm helping you Douxie." I say with a grin and take his hand.
„Thanks Mailin." Douxie smiles at me.
We exited the room and parted ways. Claire went to Morgana, Steve to Sir Lancelot and Douxie and I are currently sneaking up to Merlin's tower.
The sound of breaking glass was heard from inside and Merlin scolding Douxie.
„Hisirdoux, do you have feet for hands? All the Slorr juice? You know how long it takes to milk one of those!" Merlin scolds him.
„Sorry, Sir. I was just trying to save time." past Douxie apologizes.
Douxie glares at the man bun his past self is wearing „Ugh, that hair was a mistake."
„I found it rather cute." I giggle.
Douxie glares playfully at me before turning back to Merlin and his past self. He groans „I remember this."
He mimics Merlin and I cover my mouth to surpress my giggles.
Douxie then uses a spell to wear the outfit his past self is wearing „Well, here's hoping this doesn't break the time-space continuum."
He takes his past self who stares at him wide eyed.
„Um, hey, me."
„Great greeting, really honey."
„Shut up, it's not every day you have to talk to your past self."
„Aah! Doppelgänger! You-you're me. I'm me!" Past Douxie stammers.
„No need to panic." Douxie says, trying to calm, well, himself.
„How? Wait, this can only mean one thing." past Douxie says.
Then at the same time they say, „Time travel paradox."
„Double Douxies? This is a disaster!" Archie says.
The two Douxies glared at Archie and yell „Give me a break Arch!"

„I'd describe it more like heaven." I sigh dreamily which makes the two Douxies blush.
„Oh, wow. This is wild!" they say after realizing they're speaking in sync.
„Let's Focus on the here and now where having two of us will be-"
„Will be a logistical nightmare." Archie finishes.
„I agree, uh, so the easiest solution-" past Douxie says.
„Is for one of us to go away til I return to my time." Douxie adds while typing a spell on his bracelet.
„Great idea!" past Douxie grins excitedly „but which one of us-"
„Interminus nocti sluumberso." Douxie cuts his past self-off, puts him to sleep and levitates him into a nearby closet.
„Awe you're so cute, look at you snoring."
„Douxie Are you in... here..." the new voice drifts off and Douxie and I curse at the same time as my past self enters the room.
„Oh, fuzz buckets."
Douxie puts her to sleep as well and lays her in the closet next to past Douxie.
„I know this looks bad, but I've got this under control." Douxie says.
„Sure, you do honey. Sure, you do." I say sarcastically while smirking.
„Ha ha very funny love."
„Well, this will be fun to watch." Archie says.
After trying and failing to get the time map and trying to milk the slorr and failing that as well we went back to our room.
„I uh I forgot how much I hate milking the slorr." Douxie groans annoyed and gags as he smells the dried blue liquid on his hands.
I laugh „it was fun to watch you try though."
Douxie glares at me and turned to Claire when she burst into the room and said, „we have to change history!"
„Why's that?" I ask.
„The King has had enough! He wants to kill the trolls! Jim is going to die!" Claire exclaims panicked.
„What?" I gasp as my eyes widen „father wouldn't do such a horrible thing, he'd never be so cruel, he just can't." shocked I fall to my knees.
I look up as I feel a hand on my shoulder „Mailin, love, I'm sorry, I really wish it wasn't like this. We'll go break them out while you stay here." Douxie says soothingly and wipes my tears away with his thumb. His hand rests on my cheek afterwards and I lean into his touch.
„What? But I can help! I'm just as good at magic as you." I say and get up.
„I know love, but your father can't see you do something like helping with a prison break." Douxie says, kisses me and leaves with Claire, Steve and Archie.
„I love you Douxie."
„I love you too Mailin."
After the door closes, I lay down in Douxies bed and fall asleep, starting to dream about how we met.

Cultivation Game: Players vs NPCs
As the only cultivator left on earth while he was already 1500 years old, there weren't many things that caught his interest. Even the recently trending virtual reality games could only entertain him for a while before he got bored again. How could he possibly feel the sensation when the supernatural powers that could be used in those games weren't as strong as his in the real world. He was only interested again when his neighbor told him of a new game called World of Cultivation. This game has 7 worlds each of which is a thousand times bigger than the earth where every place can be visited. An old man in that game world destroyed countless mountains with just a single snort. "The world I dreamed of and a power that's more than mine? I have to feel the sensation even if it's just a game," he said. While the game's description attracted him to play it, once he arrived in the game world, he was filled with disbelief as he looked at the status window. - Pangu Splits Heaven and Earth - Zues the King of All Lightning - Athens' Laws of War - Nuwa's Laws of Creation and Life - King Arthur's Holy Light Etc. - Light Erases Darkness - Infinite Sword Domain - Kun-Peng's Wings - Rain of a Thousand Spears Etc.
